How can we improve the existing moving creatures of Minecraft? Show us your coolest fantasy creatures. We are very interested in ideas that are unique and not just lists of mobs!

Bald Eagles

Behavior: Protects its nest, (Nest: Consists of: 2 Adult Eagles, and has the possibility of up to three eggs which over time will crack and become baby eagles) At night the eagle swoops down and hunts for small animals which then will be brought to the nest to eat. If you go to the nest all eagles will attack you (excluding babies) if you die by eagles, any meat you had in your inventory will be consumed by the eagles. If you give eagles enough meat they will build a bond with you allowing you around the nest. If you feed the adults more meat after you make a bond with them they will go into love-mode and then lay eggs in the nest.

Baby Eagles Behavior: The babies will be protected by their parents and given food from their parents. Baby eagles will not leave the nest unless tamed by you. Baby eagles would be tame-able but only the babies would be tameable. When they grow into adults they will protect the nest as well from any invaders and will have to fed to create a bond if you want to be around the nest. (If not tamed already)

Usage For Taming: Baby eagles when tamed will sit on your shoulder (much like parrots) but only one eagle will be able to fit on your shoulder at a time. When grown into an adult the Bald-eagle will protect you from all hostile mobs even without you attacking them or them attacking you. The eagles "sit" command will make the eagle sit but overtime you will see a nest starting to form until there is a full nest put in place. The Bald-eagle will protect its nest from any invaders while also allowing only one eagle to be with it in it's nest, the other eagles will be attacked if to close. (except for babies)

Draw Backs/Downsides:

The Bald-Eagle will spawn very rarely,

The Bald-Eagle Has only eight health points (equivalent to four hearts)

The Bald-Eagle does not know when to run, this will in turn make creepers explode killing the eagle, or other hostile mobs try and kill it.

Hostile mobs will try and kill the Baby Bald-Eagles as well, but if the parents try to protect they will be attacked themselves.

The Bald-Eagle Will Not Teleport

Eagle Feathers:

I thank you for your feed back KinectFun, I am working on an edited version of the bald eagle proposal, which will be out soon. The edits will introduce new ideas on what the eagle will be able to do, but sadly I am still working on the draft. I will take into consideration your feedback for the new draft. I appreciate taking some time to notify me about this.
